Budgeting For Your Closet

HerMoney with Jean Chatzky

How much of your money do you spend on the clothes in your closet? Now what about your time? In other words, how much time do you spend staring into the abyss of your wardrobe? One study says that over the course of her lifetime, a woman will spend a full year in front of her closet from age 16 to 60, just deciding what to wear. And this doesn’t include all of the other time we’re supposed to spend making our closets more manageable and our wardrobes more streamlined.

Kim France says it’s time to ditch ALL the rules, and start organizing our closets with more intention. She explains how we can prioritize the fashion rules that work for us, so we can stop staring into a full closet feeling like we have nothing to wear.
